The 2nd Edition of 5G Technology: 3GPP Evolution to 5G-Advanced provides a comprehensive technical overview of modern mobile communication standards for wireless researchers, network planners, and R&D engineers. Authors Harri Holma, Antti Toskala, and Takehiro Nakamura examine architectural frameworks, standardization targets, and technology components that guide current radio network deployments. It establishes clear technical context for understanding standardized mobile systems from initial concepts to advanced field implementations.

The volume synthesizes foundational radio features, detailing physical layer operations, radio protocol structures, transport layer requirements, and overall network architecture configurations. Technical topics cover spectrum utilization strategies, millimeter wave transmission, beamforming mechanisms, and network slicing setups designed to support complex infrastructure requirements.

Key sections trace standards evolution across 3GPP Release 16, 17, and 18, focusing on radio enhancements for 5G-Advanced developments. This volume supports university lecturers, technology analysts, and spectrum regulators who evaluate core system performance metrics, including data rates, coverage parameters, latency specifications, and network measurement procedures.
